The Heady Future of the Human Brain
By Adam K. Raymond | 3.26.2015
http://nymag.com/next/2015/03/heady-future-of-the-human-brain.html
When people think about how we’ll live in the future, they often start with the devices we’ll use, the buildings we’ll live in, or the jackets we’ll wear. But the most astounding changes to our lives 50 years from now may take place in our very own heads. Neuroscientist Heather Berlin, a professor of psychiatry and neuroscience at Mount Sinai School of Medicine, says the powerful computers we call brains will only be more useful as we understand them better. We recently talked to Berlin about the future of the brain, whether we’ll ever be telepathic, and the prospect of staying alive even after our bodies die.
